Following, you can find some tips for doing some things to fix the door hinges on your own. Keep in mind that our team is more than happy and ready at all times to come and hep you save time and money by doing the right thing the first time.
When a door hinge develops a squeak due to wear or settling remove the pin by loosening each hinge pin. Tap the nail up from underneath. Pull it out (lift up on the door handle to relieve pressure if the pin binds). Keep the door closed and work on only one hinge at a time. A little petroleum jelly will rid the hinge of that annoying wail. The petroleum jelly works its way into the hinge and adheres well, so it won’t run off and make a mess like oil or other lubricants. After all the hinges have been lubricated, open and close the door a few times to work the petroleum jelly into the hinge joints.
One day the door closes smoothly; the next day it’s sticking. And the sticking grows worse as the weeks pass. It’s a common old house problem, but it can happen anywhere kids hang from doorknobs. The screws holding the top hinges carry most of the weight of the door and are almost always the first to pull out, especially after they’ve been repeatedly tightened over the years. The best way is to replace the standard 3/4-in. hinge screws with at least two 3-in. screws that go through the jambs and solidly anchor into the framing. Screw the hinge back. If the door doesn’t shut properly after all the screws are driven in, they may have been driven in too far, pulling the door frame out of plumb. Just back the screws out a few turns.
